Baudolino. Eco U.

as in the "name of the rose", the Middle Ages and the present here are echoing and relationships. Like the name of the rose, “Baudolino” - a historical romance with elements of the detective. Here, the plot goes back to the “six Napoleons” of Conan-Dol, the mythical stories of the magi, the Turin raincoat, the searches of the Grail, the heroes wander through the fictional kingdoms and beat the armies of fantastic creatures, and the whole thriller double interchange ends.

journalists wrote right away: Baudolino is an ECO portrait. The tireless storyteller, scribe, celebrity and citizen of the world and at the same time expert, and at times - a participant in the common, carnivorous, semi -peasant life of the Italian province, Eco and his hero - flesh from the flesh of his native town of Alexandria in Piedmont.

It is this Alexandria, the city born in front of the reader, in the novel Eco is depicted, for all its damp simplicity, as an almost sacred place, the eater of the earth's paradise, the refuge of the Grail.
